Browse our library of Japanese Candlestick Chart Patterns, displayed from strongest to weakest, in two columns: Bullish & Bearish Patterns.

Consolidation Patterns are typically weak candlestick patterns that have close to an even chance of resolving in either direction (i.e. less than 1.5 times as likely to resolve in either direction).
